I previously posted a question about how to get a formation to retreat away from contact with the enemy without "flipping its back" to the enemy from which it is retreating. I was told I should do this with a withdraw order and the formation would retreat without exposing its "back" to the enemy. So, I have been doing that most of the last 24 real hours of game play.

The following happened though and I thought it was very unfortunate...

Here the div HQ (highlighted) is clearly the last one out and has a whole enemy corps chasing it down on the way to the new defensive line. You can clearly see I have issued a "withdraw" order to get them there.
